What Free Lessons are Being Offered Here?


I just could not resist pulling out my phone to capture a picture of this sign in a small strip mall near the center of town. Certainly some prankster has tampered with it. It is in front of a kick boxing establishment that is due to open soon.

HOW TO MAKE A POMANDER~ They Smell So Good!

Image
How I make a pomander Ingredients: oranges and some whole cloves. Whole cloves can be purchased for less in bulk containers or in a store that sells in bulk quantities. Poke a hole in the orange with a sharp pin or other sharp object and insert a whole clove. You can make patterns on the orange with the cloves or cover them almost completely as shown in the picture. A lime was used for the smaller pomander. Thinner skinned lemons would work well also. The cloves preserve the fruit. There are recipes for rolling the finished pomander in powdered spices but I found that messy and not necessary. I prefer the simple and traditional way of making them. The sharp cloves are a bit hard on the fingers so you may wish to wear some protection. If you poke the hole you can let your children push in the cloves. Tie a ribbon around the pomander, leave it plain or embellish it with some holiday sparkles or tiny bulbs. Add some netting or lace around the poman...

Do Woodchucks Really Chuck Wood? YES THEY DO! See Pictures

The mess in the garage this morning was a bit puzzling until Russ started looking around. The legs on a set of sawhorses had been chewed until they were ragged. They had been upset and were laying on their sides against the front bumper of my car. The box that holds the new mailbox that we have not yet erected had holes in each side. Shreds of cardboard were strewn on each side of the box where large holes had been ripped.  We thought that it might have been a raccoon but the garbage can remained undisturbed.  As he poked around the box a groundhog ran quickly under the car to the safety of the small area under the heavy workbench.  I think that this may be the groundhog that I saw in front of the house yesterday. It ran when it saw me and it must have sought refuge in the garage. When we locked the garage it went on a rampage trying to escape and destroyed the legs on the sawhorses, chewed into the box to see if that would be a nice new home and generally m...

Trying to Hide ~ Memories Return to My Mind ~ Reunions

Image
This big toad was in our garage but we opted to put it out near to the garden. It would be too easy to roll over this large animal. My husband's high school class is planning a reunion which may take place later in the Summer or early Fall. His class has a reunion every 5 years. My own high school class has not had a reunion in many years. I can only remember the 20th reunion of my class having taken place.  The talk of his reunion brought up a sad memory. About 5 years ago I got a phone call from a classmate that I had not seen in many years. He talked about the possibility of having a small get together of local classmates rather than a huge reunion. I liked the thought but we did not act on that. We talked as if we were close neighbors who see each other every day rather than long lost friends who had not seen each other for a long time. He talked about the classmates that he had seen or knew about and I did the same. An hour or so went by quickly.  We grew...
